The Nerve of the President.

HE VEToEs THE INDECENT PENSION BILL.
The INDECENT pension bill passed both
Houses of Congress by large majorities,
yet the President had the nerve to do what
he believed to be right, and vetoed it.
Few men could have done that under
similar circumstances. 1t will elevate him
still higher in the esteem and confidence of
the tax-riddeu people of this country. As
the Norfolk Landmark says, 'the President
has vetoed the Universal Grab bill, and by
this act he has shown himself to be a very
strong and courageous man The great
mass of public men, in his place, would
have signed the measure in order to gain
strength before the people, and the tax
payers would have been saddled with new
and heavy burthen to weigh them down for
more than generation. But Mr.. Cleve-
land has faced the music and by this one
act has shown that he is as honest and
resolute a man as there is in the country
There will be howl over this from GER
tain class, and especially from claim agents,
and such persons, but the great masses of
the people will approve his action. In our
judgment Mr.. Cleveland has done more by
this act to strengthen himself with the pub
lie at large than any thing he has ever done;
and be deserves the most cordial support
from all men who feel that they really have
stake in the community. We trust he
will be sustained by Congress, and that the
Democratic party will have the pluck and
manliness to back up the Executive
Should the President be successful in de-
feating this bill, be will be instrumental in
saving thirty millions of dollars year to
the country.
The Lynchbnrg Firginidn says
1--WE do not hesitate to declare that the
act of President Cleveland in vetoing the
general pension bill is the most courageous,
patriotic and commendable act of any one
who has ever occupied the National Execu-
tive Chair He boldly throws himself abreast
of the multitudinous army of blatant dem
agogues. Henceforth let the rallying cry
of the Democratic party be Grover Ceve-
land. In our steady and stalwart support
of him, let all subsidiary and secondary
considerations be blotted out of view. He
is the solitary man in this country who can
lead the Democratic party to victory in
1885,"

The sun was already high in cloudless
heaven, shining in the deep azure OF those
grand attitudes, flooding the whole valley
with an intense light. The Cerro, ike an
immense rock flung in the valley, rose
bare and yellow, with here and there on
its sides green clusters of cactus and hg
trees. A square of 4, 900 men surrounded
it in straight lines. They were IN itlh

i. THE THRIVING SOUTH.
Newsy Notes of Our Live and Ener-
getic NeighbOrs.

PEOPLE HERE have got the idea that
in the event of the Utah, Deep Creek q
Los Angeles Railroad being built, it
will cater for some of the Lake trade.
Is the idea correct?
OF THE thriving business houses of
| Southern Utah, none excel the Lehi Co
operative Institution. This firm, under
the able supervision of T. Z. Cutler, is
doing a fourishing business and is OF
infinite value to the people. 1t is still
paying handsome dividends, and its
home manufacturing in furniture, boots
and shoes, etc., give employment to
large number of people. In short the
Coop" is the institution by which two
out of three of Lehi's citizens swear.
WHAT MIGHT have been a serious
casualty happened yesterday at the
residence of Mr.. Daniel Thomas. A
little 2-year old child. unprotected, was
playing near tub of water at the well,
when it fell head first into the tub. Its
arms were not long enough to reach
the bottom and there it remained bal
anc, with its face and part of its body
immersed until rescued by gentleman
who happened TO 60 into the lot.
A VISIT to Lehi recalls the time when
il possessed an enthusiastic "iurispru-
denCa class" OF this S. r. Thurman
David Evans and Barlow Ferguson were
the most active members, and from the
success which has attended their legal
efforts, it would seem that that the fat,
tabor 0nl1li UiRcet, has been thoroughly
fulfilled. At present Thurman stands
in the front ranks Of the Peoples party
leaders. Ferguson is rising attorney,

acquired ability. Mr.. Evans has allied
rne Territory, and doubtless is sincere
IL his course.
By the way, do you not think that
The HERALD's editorial headed, The
Constitution and Mr.. Varian," is rather
TOO plimentary to the latter? L do
not wish to abate one 1.-THE from any
persons just worth, but it occurs to me
that this person who essays to criticise
George Tlcknor Curtis, is Tin view of his
real standing here) given too much
prominence among the peoole by The
HERALD. The idea of person claiming
to b. d lawyer, seriously saying that
one generation or one people cannot,
| by fundamental or constitutional law
measurably bind its successors, is, to
III 4hAllO, bOLSChSTs Ii
we were to accept this idea as correct,
the national Constitution would be of
10 force to us-it could affect only it's
contemporaries would, in fact, be
nugatory and void.
TRANE & EVANS, dealers in general
| merchandise aud farm implements,
constitute as lively and courteous q
firm as one would wish to meet. The
boys are both popular in Lehi and are
building up nice business. They both
nave added to the beauty of the town
by building handsome residences.
THESE NOTES would be quite incom-
plefe were 1 to omit the drive we'll sys-

have over 200 of these wells in opera

ply his family with continuous flow of
this excellent water is considered to be
behind the age.
